DealHub.io vs. Zeal

DealHub is well suited to put controls on the contracting process. You are able to create price books in DealHub and run all calculations through their system to then push back to Salesforce opportunity/opportunity line items. The system can handle everything from the first meeting pipeline (We require all pipeline $$ to originate from a DealHub Proposal sync) to signature within Dealroom -- Their electronic signing tool. Where DealHub may not be appropriate is if you have a very complex selling motion or have very different selling operations within multiple regions. We have two core regions and each one is essentially set up as its own entity, requiring double work to update.

  business processes with customized features such as unique intake forms

• DealHub efficiently tabulates all the pricing into one clean document.
• DealHub allows us to submit for approvals quickly and efficiently, without having to send an email.

• DealHub syncs automatically with our Salesforce instance, reducing any duplicative areas that need to be updated.

• Client service support.
• Personalization of need.
• Document tracking.

• Nothing too specific here since this is the first CPQ tool I've used; maybe the training around how the actual DealRoom presents to a customer would have been helpful, but I operate more in an old-school way and like to send my contracts directly to the people I'm working with via email or DocuSign... the whole DealRoom thing scares me a little.

Incentivized

• New feature request process - they tend to ask a lot of questions regarding my request.

Zeal is user-friendly for the non-tech person to use.

I personally haven't had to reach out directly to the DealHub team, but they did a great job enabling our director of RevOps, who is basically our one-stop shop for all DealHub related questions. We've never had a question (in my experience) that needed to be raised to the actual DH support team.

Customer support is outstanding.

We had the basic quoting functionality within Salesforce but were quickly outgrowing that as our deals grew in size, structure and complexity. The primary competitor we evaluated against Valooto was SteelBrick and we chose Valooto due to the promised faster implementation, lower cost and it being a more streamlined solution.

Much more hands-on team at Zeal that provides outstanding service to setup, train and educate our team on how to best use the product

• DealHub has saved me at least 30 mins on each proposal/quote that I've created. Gone are the days of having to update a Google Sheet, double-check the math, and all the misc. terms or incentives that come along with driving a deal forward.
• DealHub reduces my time in Salesforce each quote that's created by about 5 minutes.
• DealHub makes the internal approval process much faster as well; Sales Director receives approval via email, if CRO approval is needed, the approval-needed notification is sent right to the CRO, following Director level approval. Clicks not emails.

Incentivized

• Allowed sales to send out templates without modification.
• Automated tracking of data from contract templates sent out.
